OPENING FILMS ANITA
“Speaking truth to power” is the tagline of Anita, a powerful new documentary by Academy Award-winning writer/director Frieda Lee Mock. The film sets out to do just that, bringing audiences back more than 20 years to the 1991 Senate hearings during which young Anita Hill testified against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas whom she accused of sexual harassment. The hearings set off a political firestorm. Anita examines the lasting impacts of the hearings as they relate to other victims of sexual harassment, as well as issues of social justice and equality. At Magic Lantern. (CS) Not Rated
BRICK MANSIONS
Paul Walker, in one of his last roles he played before dying in a car wreck last year, plays Damien, a Detroit cop whose father, also a cop, was killed by a notorious drug lord (played by RZA of the freaking Wu Tang Clan). Now, this cop is going into one of the city’s worst neighborhoods to try to ferret out this bad dude and get a little payback for dear ol’ Dad. (MB) Rated PG-13
DOM HEMINGWAY
There was a time when Jude Law played pretty boys on screen — Dom Hemingway is not one of those films. He even gained 30 pounds for this roll. Here Law plays the title character, a man just released from prison after a 12-year stint for refusing to talk. Now back on the streets, the safe-cracker is out looking for what he believes he’s owed for keeping silent. It’s one of those wacky British films where nothing goes the way it should. (LJ) R
KID CANNABIS

JOE
THE OTHER WOMAN
Cheaters deserve what’s coming to them and in the case of The Other Woman, one man is about to be played by the three women he’s sleeping with. In this Hollywood universe, one man (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Game of Thrones) has the super-human ability to get Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton — obviously, from the get-go, this film isn’t based in reality. When they all discover he’s cheating on them, the three women band together to deliver some just desserts. (LJ) PG-13
This DisneyNature documentary is sure to make you say “aww” at least once.

Narrated by John C. Reilly, this one is sure to please both the young and old. (PS)
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER
After awakening 70 years into the future, Captain America (Chris Evans) has a lot of catching up to do.

THE QUIET ONES
It’s 1974 in England, and we’re introduced to Professor Coupland (Jared Harris) and his attempts, with the assistance of a couple of students/acolytes, to cure his “psychotic” subject, Jane Harper (Olivia Cooke). At first sight, their treatment of her appears abusive: She is locked in a bedroom in a small house in Oxford, the covered-up windows keeping the room dark, but it transpires that Jane approves of her situation, meant to help keep her demons at bay. Are those demons real, or imaginary? (MJ) Rated R
